Going into the Great Beyond

A boy stands in the street
Waiting to be hit by all the rushing cars
Waiting to have all he ever was
Smashed out of his little frame
and spread out for all the see

But every car swerves
Every single person on the road
Doesn't want to take what isn't theirs
Even though he's asking for it
To be taken quite suddenly

To him
The afterlife is so much more exciting
He's seen enough of this world
He knows whats in store
The happiness he could find

To the drivers
This life is all they know
So why go running into the unknown
Stick with what you know
We all end up there eventually

Would you walk into traffic
To see what is in the Great Beyond?
Would you swerve to save a life
Even though someone is ready to go?
Would you be bold enough to drive straight?
